Unblocked some bots

I unblocked some bots including slurp (which eats up TONS of bandwidth) so if you see more guests it's most likely bots. I'll give them a couple of weeks to crawl new data for search engines and if I notice any rediculously eating bandwidth I'll block them again.

Nah they just crawl the site and index the content for searching. But some bots like Yahoo's slurp eat up tons of bandwidth so I had them blocked.
